One use case for Pulse is recording the audio output of another application that

Without any workaround a browser does use ALSA, if jackd isn't running,

The answer was already given, it's considered as too much effort to
provide support, to those who want to e.g produce music
What I think would be nice to have since jack and or alsa is the default.
Why not replace pulse with one of those two or during install give the user
the option on which one to install?

Hi all,
although pulseaudio wasn't causing the problem I was
having with this particular instrument, when I run "top" or "htop" in
the terminal, pulseaudio is always near the top of the list of threads,
even though I have never used it. So I did uninstall it (remove rather
than purge) and thi

Run apt-get autoremove before removing the meta-package and then run it
again after removing it. Perhaps autoremove suggests to remove the
packages installed as dependency by the meta-package, if so cancel the

Hi Ralf,
thanks for responding. I suppose I could do the dummy
package, and I'll take a look at it at some point.
For now, I *think*
another way to do this might be to just remove pulseaudio, and leave the
other related files. At some point, I'm sure the "apt-get autoremove"

Hi,
you can build empty dummy packages to fulfil hard dependencies that are
nothing but a PITA, such as the pulseaudio hard dependency.
Pulseaudio is one of the hard dependencies, that for many, if not all
packages, could be an optional dependency (recommends, suggests).
Use equivs, it's available
